The value story
It has never been cheaper than $9.09. That was May 2026. 19 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 25 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga ($19.99, scores 91) beats it on value, while it beats 再刷一把 PlayAgain ($8.99, scores 15).
On this data it would still be a BANGER at $35.44. It costs $13.99.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 11 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 46.1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 499 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 68 percent of the 120 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

What players say
Great game! It was difficult at times but i really enjoyed it from beginning to end :)
You think you like jumping, but you don't really like jumping unless you play this game. Also, this is one of the toughest turn based combat games I've played in awhile, and I was playing on Normal. You can't really just overlevel and expect you'll steamroll bosses with your best skills, you need good party composition or strategy typically.
Game is def one of the most fun RPG's Ive played in a while. The story is lacking, but the exploration game play and class system more than makes up for it. It is incredibly rewarding to explore and push the boundaries of what you can explore in this game. It is satisfying to find hidden areas to explore
